In certain facts of life, one should not think even for a while if it is an Exaggeration or real ... It does not matter what it is... The expression and feeling is important and sometimes it may not even matter, how one interprets or reacts... One such reality is what happens to me when i listen to Aur Ho from Rock star. Only Rahman can do this ... This has happened to me before, when i heard, hey ajnabi from dil se, jaage from Guru , Suntha hai from Pukaar, Ahista from swades, Nahin samne from taal, Pyar ye from rangeela, hum hai from kisna, jaane na kahan from jaane tu and few more...
Basically, these songs melt the deep rooted emotional clogs inside us and the release of emotions comes out in the form of a discovery of the self. Essentially these songs do what a successful mediation and prayer ought to be doing... One experiences a deep sense of the contact with the self and also with the hidden pains and pleasures of the world. It seems as if we are in complete rhythm with the best things in the world. The pain seems like the pain; the pleasure like the pleasure and just about everything seems and becomes natural and non synthetic.
The sounds, the rhythms, the voices, the vocals, the mood, the take off, the meat, the end and the mix of all these is so wonderful that, it gives a complete feel. The wholesome experience that we strive for eternally.. of seeking god or the experience of it many times can be felt when we listen to bebasi or any of the songs that is mentioned above. It is as if Rahman knows the formula of the bliss and peace, and so he is able to collect the elements from the nature and put it together and give us such master pieces ... He does the music when the whole world is sleeping and when god has time to attend and focus on few things. That’s when he also decides to help rahman to being the best ... His music is just divine and the experience and joy of travel in his music has to be felt and surely one gets rejuvenated and reverberates with the rhythm of the nature ... This song from Rock star is one such example.
But one caution to everyone is that, this song like many rahman’s songs can’t be heard in a hurry or as a back ground song or while you are doing something. If one really wants peace and solace from the regular world that each of us live in, set time for yourself , go for a drive, stop on the high way road, and just remain calm and listen to this or above mentioned songs in isolation and spend time with yourself .
The best way to pamper oneself is to sit quite completely at home all by oneself and sit relaxed, switch off all lights and let the lights from the music system alone be seen, Just listen to this music and that light will seem like a light of the life or universe and we will be completely filled up with energies of joy and peace. That is the magic of rahman’s music ... This is not for the people who are in a hurry to judge music, or write reviews or make comparisons. This is for people who are real connoisseurs of music and can take time to listen to music exclusively for themselves and without mobiles and commitments to meet. This song from Rock star, mere bebasi is beyond the basic human relations and we get bliss if we go beyond the realm of fundamental human emotions to understand and experience the song.
Jai ho Rahman....
Wonderful analysis :)
